Good News Bible

Isaiah 24:7-11 Good News Bible (GNB)

7. The grapevines wither, and wine is becoming scarce. Everyone who was once happy is now sad,

8. and the joyful music of their harps and drums has ceased.

9. There is no more happy singing over wine; no one enjoys its taste any more.

10. In the city everything is in chaos, and people lock themselves in their houses for safety.

11. People shout in the streets because there is no more wine. Happiness is gone for ever; it has been banished from the land.
